The robots are revolting.

Feels like this post is missing something.

My coworkers would be shocked if I DID use it. I've been very clear on my feelings about it.

Was it Tango? I bet it was Tango.

This is how observant I am. In one of the recent time loop movies I watched, the screen got progressively narrower throughout the duration of the film (for thematic reasons). I didn't notice until it was a square.

I swear it was that way when I got it!

I had Genesis Noir on my Steam wishlist for quite awhile since it was marked as a point-and-click adventure game that has a really distinctive art style and has high ratings. Finally played it and… it is not fun. It could make for an amazing animated short film but there’s almost no actual gameplay.

I did the thing. Did you do the thing?

Show some respect for Spirit Christmas, Andrew.

So far I've watched 24 movies in my adventure through time loop stories. They all have their own ways of deviating from the standard plot structure (aka Groundhog Day), but the one that has been most unpredictable by far is The Fare, an indie film from 2018. Kept me on my toes the whole time!

Just finished playing Amerzone (a 3D point-and-click adventure game from 1999). It really wanted to by Myst. It was definitely not Myst.

Also it glitched out on the final screen so I had to watch the ending cut scene on YouTube.

Kids know the true pain points.

Were you reading a lot of research studies at age 13 in order to help guide your world view?

Isn’t it the worst? Mine keeps trying to use google’s AI summary for recipes.

Oh, it absolutely is well played. She’s got precision targeting.

Yes, but it’s just so personal and targeted!

Destroy all AI? That seems reasonable, right?

Of course, my teenage daughter has decided to rebel by deciding that generative AI is good and helpful. I should have seen that one coming.

I introduced the 10-yr old to Monty Python and the Holy Grail last night. There was a LOT of laughing, but boy was she annoyed at how it ended.

She has already referenced it today, as one does.

Looking forward to watching @zedaph.com play my game Tempus Mortem III later today!

Exactly.

If that doesn't work, you know what you could try?

Wish I just remembered the commercial, but I was born in '82, so my obscure childhood commercial memories are from a few years later.

Well I hate to give away my secrets, but searching for that was literally all I did.

Because I gave a hoot.

The 10-yr old and I went to paint night at her school tonight.

I could probably draw it better these days, but it's also perfect as is. And I'm happy whenever I see it.

And that, among so many other things, is something that worries me about AI. That other people will see it as a shortcut and will miss out on the journey.

Because the journey is fun! I love even my bad drawings and the ones that make sense to nobody but me.

Because I made them.
